Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Des. 17, 1907.

Application filed December 22. 1,906. Serial No. 349.026.

T0 all wh'om it may concern: v Be it known that I, MARC STERNBERG, cf Philadelphia, in the county 0f Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania; have invented certain. new and useful. Improvements in Hose-Supporters, Whereof the following is a specification, reference being had to the aecompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in hose supporters ;more articularly tothe sheet metal clasp which is astened to the hose.

The general object of my invention is to produce a clasp having efectiv'e-- means for easily and securely attaching the clasp to and detaching it froin the top part of the hose or similar. material without injuring the same; and it consists in the improved construction and novel arrangement of parts',. as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure is a plan view showing the hose supporter 1n closed position applied to a garment. Fig.

II, is a side elevation of the supporterlook ing from the lelt of Fig. I. Fig. III, is a side. elevation of the supporter When in openpositien and viewed from the right of Fi I.

In said figures, 1, is a sheet meta plate provided at its upper end with a slot 2, to'receive the 1isual elastic band for holding the At the lower end of the plate 1, is struck up the projection 3, over which the ,hoseis adapted to be placed when it is to be clasped by the sup orter. Pivoted to the plate 1, by means o a rivet 8, is a movable ]&W 4 thisjaw is provided With a recess 5, opening to one side and fitting around the projection '3. This jaw is also provided With a fingl hold 6, opposite the recess 5.

As vill be seen by referring to Fig. II, the plate 1, and j aw 4, are both provided with o1p positely disposed bends 9, and 10, and t e jaw is also offset With respect to. the plate l,

. so that its lower surface is below the upper surface of the plate 1, when the structure is in o'pen position (as shown in Fig. HI.) On

. account of this when the jaw.4, is moved over the plate 1, they are both forced into fric- -tional engagement around the projection 3,

thereby tightly clamping the hose 12 which has been placed over this projection. The corner 7, at the inner end of the recess 5, in the jaw 4, is turned upward slightly as Will be seenin Fi 11, to enable the jaw to ride easily upon t e plate 1, at the beginning of the closmg movement.

In operatimi the device is secured to the usual supportig band Which passes through the slot'2, in the plate 1. The hose 12 is v placed over the projection 3 the welt on its upper edge -lying in the hollow formed by the bends 9, and 10, when the jaW -has been moved to the closed position. As a result of ths shaping the plate and jaw With these bends 9, and"10, they are firmlyiorced together under the spring action thereby produced, and the hose is securely clamped between them and around said projection.

The size of the structure and the thickness said projection and between said jaw;and

plate.

2. In a hose supporter, the combination with a sheet metal plate having a projection over which thehose is adapted to be placed of a sheet metal jaw pivoted to said plate and provided with a recess. openirig through one edge adapted to fit around said projection, said pivoted j aw being slightly bent so as .to have frictional engagement with said plate around said projection. 3. In a hose supporter, the combination of asheet metal plate provided with a projection over Which the hose is adapted to be placed, said plate being bent toform a hollow substantially midway its length; a sheet metal jaw pivoted to said plate and provided with a recessin one side adapted to fit around said projection, said jaw being als0 bent to form a hollow oppositely disposed to the hollow in the plate, whereby said plate and jaw are adapted to be frictionally engaged about said projection.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto Signed my name, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this twentieth day 01'' December 1906.

MARC STERNBERG.
